We have 180 days of school each year. That's about 4,320 hours of school. We only have 24 hours each day. In those 24 hours, we lose about 8 hours each day being at school. Let's say we start school around 8am and end around 4pm. After we come home we have a solid 11 hours till we go back to school again. In those 16 hours we have to be able to manage our time with many things during this period.
1. Social Life
As high schoolers, we want to be able to manage our social life which basically means spending time with our friends and meeting new people over social media. The thing is, with our smartphones, now we easily get distracted from our work and sleep because we want to always be with our friends and share every moment with them; they are the few people we can be ourselves and be stress-free with. We don't want to miss out on these fun times just because we have school, but we also don't want them to ruin us. We are just very attached to them.
2. School
As a high schooler, school is very important to every student. We want to have good grades and graduate to a good college. We want to do our best to impress colleges and make our parents proud, but how is this possible with the amount of time we have per day? Everyone knows how hard high school is, how much work we get and how much we have to study to get good grades. Other than grades we also have extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports, volunteering, etc. There isn't enough time to maintain sleep and social life with school.
3. Sleep
The most important thing for any human being is sleep, but in high school, we don't have much of this because we are too busy trying to manage our life with school and our social life. We don't realize how much we miss sleeping until we come to high school. An average high schooler needs about nine and a half hours of sleep every day, but if we only end up having 16 hours gap between coming back from school and waking up and going back again, how are we suppose to get the amount of sleep we need and manage between school work and social life? With the amount of work and stress we have, 16 hours is definitely not enough to get the perfect management without stress
